It's Not Easy
(charley foskett)
Producer for bonnie: charley foskett
Recorded in 1986 for the charity album 'it's a live-in world', part of the anti-heroin project. lyrics taken from careful listening.
I don't question the light that shines from your window
And I don't want to hear what the people might say
But I know different, and that's okay
They've been abused and they're so confused
It's no wonder, they'll take what the can and run
They spend their life in the doorway
The doorway of a lifetime
And their aching arms give no reprise
'cause they don't understand
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart
Maybe the day will come
When the streets ain't full of everyone
Just trying to hang on to what the can
And you might find when you wake up
The break of dawn has come
And all the sisters of sin are awaiting you
They're waiting to wrap their empty shells
Around your warm, warm and loving heart
And to clutch at your breast with a hand of ice
So pray the winds of change
And don't let them bring you down
To that no good, no good, cheap-talking crowd
'cause they don't understand
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart
It's not easy
Never has, or ever will be
Take this loving from me, and you will break my heart...fade
